An award winning and fantastically funny retelling of medieval classic The Green Knight with the subtext made text! (Spoiler alert: it’s gay). A classic Christmas game ends in Sir Gawain being peer-pressured into chopping off the Green Knight's head. Now he has to let the miraculously still-alive Green Knight return the favour. Disaster! King Arthur reckons Gawain needs to be more masculine and there's nothing manlier than a good head chopping off... so there's really no way out. Created by critically acclaimed and award winning storyteller Niall Moorjani and co-directed with Cecily Nash. Fresh from a packed 5 star run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This adaptation fabulously queers and modernises an Arthurian classic and is an excellent alternative for anyone looking for panto-esk festive joy without the capitalism and nonsense.
"Companies like us genuinely would not be making theatre if it was not for the ability of CPT and its team to identify artists who are worth taking a chance on."
